The Villas of Edgerton: Home to Huddersfield’s Victorian Elite by David Griffiths
Original photography by Andrew Caveney
Published June 2017
Privilege, power and privacy were of the essence in Huddersfield’s elite suburb. This illustrated history of the district’s development and its grand houses documents their Victorian and Edwardian residents’ leading roles in trade and industry, politics, education, churches, sport and more. It includes a house-by-house tour of Edgerton’s architectural heritage, still remarkably well-preserved in a mature wooded landscape.
164 pages, 21cmx21cm, paperback.
ISBN 978-0-9956328-1-3.
£12.95 + £2.50p&p for UK addresses (please ask for overseas prices).

Huddersfield Heritage Trail
Discover Huddersfield is a partnership of several local interest groups and organisations. It organises a programme of walks and events as well as a series of free trail leaflets, each based on a theme connected with the town’s historic, cultural and social heritage.
Its 2019 walks' programme is available by clicking here.
It includes 17 walks around the town with themes including architecture, radical history, music and Caribbean heritage. Walks are also arranged around areas including Almondbury, Birkby and Highfields.
The walks, on afternoons and evenings from March to October, usually take 1.5 to 2 hours and cost £3 per person, apart from four free walks organised in conjunction with the national Heritage Open Days festival in September.
Copies of the walks programme can be found at local libraries and information points, Huddersfield Railway Station and a number of other town centre outlets or by going to the Discover Huddersfield website.
In addition, a series of free trails produced by experts in their particular field are also available, in print or on the website, for those who want to discover the town for themselves.
Discover Huddersfield Chairman, Vernon O’Reilly, said: 'What better way can there be of discovering the extraordinary variety and quality of our town’s heritage than by joining us on our walks?
'The walks and trails provide local people, students and visitors with an ideal opportunity to appreciate the extraordinary diversity and wealth of historic and cultural locations that have shaped Huddersfield.'
